Question 5

Can someone tell me how this card performs in Battlefield 5, with a AMD FX 8350 Octa core, 4.0Ghz? I know this model was recommend in the Spec section of the game, but it also suggests a Ryzen 5, which would require a new build that I dont want to do yet.

Accepted Answer

I don't own BF5 but I've played BF4 and the fps over 120 using the same system you have. if you are playing in 1080p and you are not looking for over 120fps, this card with that cpu still solid for gaming.

Question 6

If I purchase this gpu from newegg, do I still get the two free games or not?

Accepted Answer

When I bought my ASRock RX 570 4GB Phanton Gaming X card there was a free (3) Game promo....shortly after my purchase I got an e-mail from newegg with a link & access code to those games. IF you buy this Gigabyte card be prepared to hear "tick..tick..tick" from fans since Gigabyte uses cheap cooling fans. IF it were me I'd buy the ASRock RX 580 (uses double ball bearing fans & ASRock has decent customer service/support unlike Gigabyte)

Question 7

Does this card require UEFI or does it run on legacy BIOS machines?  I have a DP55KG from Intel that never supported the RX 480 I tried to put in it.

Accepted Answer

I don't think this card require UEFI.  My PC runs Sandy Bridge i7 from 2012. I had different GPUs during this time: 680ti, amd 280, GTX 660.  All cards worked just fine.

Question 8

Do you know whit what brand of vram does this come? (samsung, hynix...)

Question 9

A lot of review are saying this card is cheap but its $784.99 now, how much was this card going for at the time of the earlier purchases and why has the card price increased so much?

Accepted Answer

The main reason video cards are so high is because of "Miners (crypto currency) are buying them up at any cost ! You can get a good deal from newegg if you click auto notify and be ready to purchase as soon as they notify you. I got mine for $289 with a $10 coupon a few days ago. GigB** 580 8GB is listing for $309 now.
